I feel the Need the Need for Free Shipping

Alright I am probably the last one to offer free shipping but I am offering it with a low total of $75.00. I used to fret when I got my online total, due to the shipping. Well I know why they charge so much. That is just what it cost to get those goods flown all over to us. Now that I own a retail website I can appreciate the cost of shipping. Wow is it expensive. I pay it to get goods to my store and I pay to get your order to your home. This is why I cannot offer FREE shipping all the time. So I am compromising. If someone orders more than $75.00 I will pay for the shipping....

Mushroom Hunting

OK so one of our favorite pass times is hunting mushrooms. We just love it! It is our time to spend with family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins come along and we have a great time. Some years are better than others. However we always have a good time. Whether our bounty is a plenty or not. I do have to admit that every year is different. Some years we find huge ones, but few. Some years we find lots of little ones...This year however we have found teeny tiny ones and huge ones. People have lots of theories about weather and soil etc....I personally do not know why some years are better or why in some areas all of a sudden there are tons. I do know that when the violets come out so will the mushrooms. I also know that they usually start popping out early May. Oh and yes I do know they are delicious!

Happy hunting! Moi
